### Follow topics where you are mentioned

You can automatically follow topics where you are personally
[mentioned](/help/mention-a-user-or-group). If this setting is enabled:

* You will automatically follow topics where you are personally mentioned, but
  group mentions and wildcard mentions (**@all**, **@topic**, etc.) will not
  affect topic status.
* You will automatically follow topics in [muted channels](/help/mute-a-channel)
  when you are mentioned.
* Mentions will *not* cause you to automatically follow topics you have
  explicitly [muted](/help/mute-a-topic).
